I didn't get nitrous, so I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dental-work-and-breastfeeding-drugs#post-262844 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 16:34:05 +0000 IcebergMom 262844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your dentist should know. My optometrist stopped me from getting my eye pressure checked because he wd have to give me drops that can infiltrate the breast milk. So interesting. Glad he knew his stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dental-work-and-breastfeeding-drugs#post-262772 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 15:41:01 +0000 chopsuey 262772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: i got a root canal done a few months ago while I was still nursing! You should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dental-work-and-breastfeeding-drugs#post-262768 Fri, 17 Aug 2012 15:37:00 +0000 mediagirl 262768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know if novocain or nitrous oxide affect breastmilk? I'll be getting a root canal on Monday and will have both. I plan on storing a few bottles just case (especially for during or just after my procedure) so my husband can feed her. I will need to pump or feed her when the procedure is over though. </p>
